A CoBgressman's Escape FROM
Hanging.

Washin gton Letter.
Among the members-elect OF the
next Congress is one who during the
war narrowly escaped hanging. The
gentleman alluded to is General w. II.
f. Lee. son OF General Robert E. Lee,
the leader OF the Confederate hosts,
and known among his most intimate
friends as "Runy" Lee. He was
elected frCSH the Alexandria district to
succeed Representative Barbour. 1t
was during the Gettysburg campaign
that he fell into the hands of the
Union troops and was sent for sale
keeping to Fortress Monroe, which
was at the time under the command of
General Butler. Not long after Lee
had been taken word came that GER
tain Union officer who had been cap
tured by the Contederates was to
be hanged asa spy. General Butler
was not long in making up his miEd
what to do. A flag of truce was inn
mediately sent to the prisoners fa-
Their, who was then commanding the
forces OF the enemy before Richmond,
notifying him that if the Union man
was hurg then 'Runy' Lee would pay
the forfeit with his life. Accompany
ing the letter from General Butler
was one from 'Runy' Lee himself to
his father, in which he stated how
he had been captured and was kept in
close confinement, being held as hostage
for man who had been captured by
the Confederates and was in danger OF
hanging. 1t is needless to add that
orders were soon issued from the Con-
federate headquarters removing the
sentence of death which hung over the
head OF the man captured by the Con-
federates. 'Runy' Lee often alludes
to the circumstance whenever he en-
counters any of the Union officers who
were in charge ofhim at Fortress Mon
roe. He now regards it less seriously
than he did at the time.

Goshen Butter.

Fifty years ago, Orange county but
ter began to be famous the country
over. and to-day their title, Goshen"
applies to much OF the choice grade
sold in the New York market At the
outset, thefarmer received from II TO
Is cents per pound for his product,
put up IN firkins in the winter and
summer and marketed in the autumn.
The town of Goshen was the pioneer
in this business, and gave its name
to the butter OF its own and
Sussex counties. When the Erie
railroad reached Goshen, about 1912,
the farmers were not long in discover
ing that it paid better to ship milk TO
New York than to churn it, and to-
day this business has almost entirely
superseded butter-making. Delaware
county and the Chemung valley took
the place of Orange and Sussex in the
butter industry, but the Midland
railroad in due time SWING Delaware
county over to milk-sel.ing. 1t still.
however, markets butter OF the gilt
edged, dollar-a-pound variety, though
the Chemung diaries are the chief pro-
ducers of frst-class butter.

Obituaries i'm Arizona.

With a ghoulish glee seldom equaled
in Arizona journalism, the putty
faced editor ofthe Paralyzer announc-
ed the other day that we were dead, and
printed our obituary. The only pos
sible excuse that the emery euss had
for doing this was that we have not
been to AL Blodgett's saloon during
the last few days. But he knew very
well that this was because we were
temporarily indisposed, having gone
to Tombstone few days ago and re
newed some acquaintance. We are
all right now, however. and when the
galoot OF the Paralyzer turns in his
toes it will give us great pleasure to
say that his memory will be most
cherished by those who knew HIM
least.-Arizona Howler.

An amendment has been added to the
Dawes Indian reservation bill, which
strikes out the provision which has
been incorporated in the billin favor OF the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and OF the Dakota
Central, which considerably reduces the
extent OF the right OF way which the roads
have sought. This amendment deprives
the roads OF a section OF land which they
have purchased Of the Indians at So per
acre, for which they expected to give the
government in addition 81 per acre, and
restricts the right OF way to 400 feet wide,
giving to the roads in all only twelve acres.
The roads are to be granted right OF way
200 feet wide from the Missouri river to
the Black Hills.

But if she did not care for him, God
help him!
That word "Failure" would be his
| destiny after all, and the sunshine
would go out suddenly from his life.
Was he weak and unmanly to depend
on another so? No; he thought not.

if they were all doomed to go down in

Realf together?
He had seen beautiful blossoms open
in dewy mornings, with a promise ola
bright happy day, only to be crushed
| and yithered ere the noontide. Were
they a type OF his poor hungry soul
and it's love OF the good, the true and
the elevating? Would it ever be said
of him, ''here lies a great soul killed by
cruel wrong?" Would sbleak, DESC
late noon be all left to him OF this
beautiful dream OF his clouded life, and
would the words that crushed uphot-
| ly from his heart" come to naught at
last.
Sorrow had always kept his soul
heretofore, but lately he had dreamed
of brighter, better things.
The gates of a fair, sweet Edenland
had been held ajar for him by her
hand, and the past few months had
| been ike a beautiful sunset showing
against his dark day.
They had revealed to him what his
| life might have been-had she come to
him in years gone by; but, perhaps,
they, too, were more like a beautiful
sunset than he cared to have them;
perhaps they would go out into cheer
less night, as the gold and purple
bands, trembling away out there in
the gray cleaning of the November
twilight, would fade into the comfort
less West.
